“We have emailed those whose accounts may have been compromised and either disabled their accounts or reset their EA Account passwords,” read a BioWare statement.

“If you did not receive an email from us, or if your password still works for your EA account, your username and password were not compromised. Nevertheless, changing your password regularly is always helpful to protect your account.”

The BioWare forum breach continues a new rush of hacks sweeping the games sector.

The likes of Sony, Codemasters, Bethesda, CCP, Epic and Nintendo have all been recent victims of hacks.
